items in the main menu on page 8) the Settings menu item may be in a dierent place. If you
can’t nd the Reset Settings menu item, you can restore iPod classic to its original state and

If you can’t see videos or photos on your TV
•
You must use RCA-type cables made specically for iPod classic, such as the Apple Composite
AV cable, to connect iPod classic to your TV. Other similar RCA-type cables won’t work.
•
Make sure your TV is set to display images from the correct input source (see the
documentation that came with your TV).
•
Make sure all cables are connected correctly (see Watching videos on a TV connected to
iPod classic on page 34).
•
Make sure the yellow end of the Apple Composite AV Cable is connected to the video port on
your TV.
•
If you’re trying to watch a video, go to Videos > Settings and set TV Out to On, and then try
again. If you’re trying to view a slideshow, choose Photos > Slideshow Settings and set TV Out
to On, and then try again.
•
If that doesn’t work, go to Videos > Settings (for video) or Photos > Settings (for a slideshow)
and set TV Signal to PAL or NTSC, depending on which type of TV you have. Try both settings.
